- - ! P~ THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, PREPARING FOR BUSINESS. Wobraska Btate Beard of Health Organiz:d at Lincoln, PECULIARITIES OF SOME PHYSICIANS. nteresting Cases Developed in Which ® Medieal Institntes Are Not Re- liea Upon for Certitlcates ot Ability. Trscoun, Neb,, Aug. 1.--[Specfal to Tnr “Ber.|--The state board of health met at the tate house today, and tho secretaries organ- z:ed by eleoting Dr. J. V. Begntol of Friend E.-wm. t, Dr. C. . Stowart of Auburn vice resident, Dr, F. D, Haldeman of Ord socro- rv and Dr. B, T. Allen of Omaha treasurer. Tho board was assigned rooms on the third floor of the bullding noar the gallery of rep- Yosentative hall. About two bundred physi- cians called in person, some with their dilpo- mas wrapped around wooden rollers and others carrying big frames enclosing the precious documents, I'he board has about five hundred apnlications for cates under the new lav The day was consumed in registoring these wpplications and explaining the law to tho callors, The board ostimates that there are @bout two thousand physicians in the state, &nd tho secretaries think it will bo two months before they will be all properly regis- terod. It is the ftntention of the board to meet Rbout every two woeks, and the next meet- fng will be held August 13, Some physicians have misunderstood the new law and sent their certificates of stration under tho bid law. These areof no use. The board must have the diplomas, that they may be ®xamined as to their geuuineness, Of tho 200 physicians in Omaha only about twenty-five have applied for reg- fstration under the now law. Man of them probably have delayed this ®action in hopes tnat the board would hold a ceting in Omaha, thus saving tho trip to incoin and the carriage of diplomas. The ecretaries say it will be inoxpedient to meet n Omaha, Under the interprotation uf the aw made by tho attornoy genereal, diplomas ust he deposited with tho state board and oft in its possession for ten days befors issu- ng certificates thoreon. [f a meeting of the oard were to be held in Omaha it would be E‘,rmy.\ry to transport tho diplomas to Lin- oln or else store them in Omaha, In the atter case they would uot be easy of access the secretaries, who are supposed to oxam- |40+ the diplomas critically in order to deteot bogus docum.ents. The sacretaries report a general disposition among physicians all over the state to com- Iply with” the law, but it brings out a few |fneer cases. One ' practitioner has no di- loma, and he has had his Mothodist minis- r writo a lottor vouching for his character 'tlnd ability. In another case the np‘)liunnt ants a cortificate on tho strength of having been “a doctor in the avmy,” Others display B0 astonishing amount of illiter The board has appointed Alow & Poufold of muha general distributing agents for its Dlanks, which willbo sent.froe on applica- on. BTREET CAR FARES RAISED, George H. Bush has sued the Lincoln igtreet rallway company for $1,000 damages for being put’ off a street car. The city or- Inances require every street car company to [$ell six checks for 25 cents and to have them ‘on sale in thelr cars. Since putting on eloc- trio cars the Lincoln street, car company has ‘pffored twenty-two tickets for |, to be ought at designated business places, but as refused to sell them on the ‘cars or to sell six checks for 25 cents. A fow days ago Bush got on a car to ride home, and offered tho conductor 25 cents for six tickets. The conductor had none to seil and Bush refused to pay faro. This occurred #evoral timos, tha conductor, allowing him to ¥ide, but on Wodnesday the car was stoppod and the patrol wagon called. The police de- olded that no ordinanco or law had been violated and refusea to make an arrost. Last evening Bush tendered a quarter as \isual, without getting the tickets he asked for, 'and the strect car men, acting under orders, forcibly put him off ‘the car. Hence the sult. Tio people of Lincols are yery muoh intorested iu the case, because there has been very general complaint at the rbitrary ruling of the now streel car com- any. They have been in the habit of getting six tickets for 25 cents. They protest that it is a0 unnecessary convenience to look up a down town office to buy street car checks, -and they object to the mcrease in the price. THAT ALLEGED MOCK MARRIAGE. "N | Waldo Williams has roturned from Dov- ver. He denles the story of the young woman from Dunbar, nee Miss Jackson, who a1d they were married and lived together in Ancoln for three weeks. He says she did ot come up to nurse him and ho never pre- ended that they wero married, although he /Paid her attentions for a year. ASTLUM INVESTIGATION. T. H, Leavitt, tho expert at work on the ‘books of the Hustings hospital, did not report ‘aswrdu as was expocted, and the state oard of public lands ana buildings sent a messenger after him with a peremptory de- mand that he come to the stato house and give a reason for tho delay. Mr. Louvitt explained that the books wero in very bad shape und that he was_coustantly discovering new leads needing investization. He says ho has been workiug night and day, but it has beon a hysical impossibility to finish the job. Ho {;u gone through the accounts, and it now only remains for time.to make up his find- fngs. Ho assures the board that he will have his report ready by uext Wednesday without Tail. 1t is intimated that the expert’s showing will make damaging disclosure The mem- bers of the board have received an inkilng of what is to come, but whilo they will not commit themsclves, they say: * will pay to wait for the examiner’s report.”’ The board is as suxious as anyone to close the investigation und make it's report to the governor, but even Secretary Allen, who did not favor the expert's investigation because of the delay, hus learned enough to satisfy him that1t ‘will prove a wise policy. At- torney General Hastings has the findings of the bourd prepared, oxcept as to the dis- closures which Expert Leavitt may muke. He says the caso can be closed in uwealy minutes after the export’s report 1s in, ASSESSORS' REVELATIONS.

Governor Thayer, when asked if he had ything to say about the story in an Omaha er of Eriday alleging that” he was to re- sign soon, replied: “'T saw the statement but hardly thought I would take the trouble to answer it. The story is very improbable, ves, utterly prepos- terous. I did not notice it as I do not. like to interrere with the business of that paper in getting up fakes. I do not like to injure auy mun’s business. 1t states that Tom Majors was in Omaha_and was up all might, night before last, and that that paper had a re- porter on_nis track. The fact 1s, Governor Majors left Omaha night before last, Thurs- day, with me, on the 7:10 train, and ‘same to Lincoln where he remained all night. The public can soo how little faith cau be placed in the statements of the great ‘fakir.’ " THINKS IT A SCHEME, Govornor Thayer, having dropped an mti- mation that he knew of some of the inside workings of the alleged combination botweon John M. Thurston, J. S. Clarkson and others defeat the renomiuation of President Har- rison, was asked by a Bee representative to unbosom himself. He declned to reveal his “pointers,” but cxpressed nimself emphatic- aily in the following lenguage. I haye noticed that-there is such a plan and that there has been for some timo. That there is such a scheme in existonce I havo not a shadow of @ doubt. John M. Thurs- ton nad one of his regular interviows in a Chicago paper about ten days ago. In that interviow he held up James G. Blaino and ‘Ret Clarksou as tho ticket to be nominatod by the uational republican conveution in 1592, Both of these gentlemon, Clark- son and Thurston, were disappointed that thoy wera mot invited to tako positions in Harrison's cabinet two vears ago Iast March. Thurston us secre- tary'of tho interior and Clarkson ns post- master general, and it seoms they canuot forget that disappointment. No oue admires Mvr. Blav more than [ do, but I am thor- ovghly convinced tnat under no civcum- stances will he permit his name to bo used. He is loyal to President Ha son, and the condition of his health is suck that he could not stand the fatigues of a prosidential cam- puign. Hurrison has given the weople an able and faithful administration, an adminis- tration that has been devoted to the interosts of the wholo country. Furthermove, Harri- son 18 growing in popular esteem and favor, and I believe I speak the sentiments of the republican population of Nobraska in ox- pressing the conviction that when the time comes the delogation from Nobraska will givo him their support.” OFF FOR DETROIT.
